NORMAN, Okla. -- Jaison Williams and Johnnie Gilbert played big roles in a high-scoring, exciting Senior Night that had everything for No. 22 Oklahoma.
Everything but suspense.
Wi h5nms had 15 points and 10 assists and Gilbert scored 13 points Saturday in their final game at Lloyd Noble Center as the Sooners beat Baylor 103-60.
"I don't know if you can script a better Senior Night," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said.
Taj Gray scored 16 points, David Godbold added 14 and Terrell Everett 11 for Oklahoma, which shot a school-record 66.1 percent in the win. The previous record of 66 percent was set Mar. 16, 1985, against Illinois State.
The Sooners (21-6, 10-4 Big 12) extended a 16-point halftime lead by hitting their first seven shots of the second half. Everett made a 3-pointer from the right side to start a 26-3 run that ended any chance of a comeback by Baylor (9-16, 1-13).
Gray added a three-point play and Everett converted a fast-break layup before Godbold scored six of the next eight points for the Sooners. After a dunk by Gilbert and 3-pointers from each corner by Williams, Longar Longar slammed home an alley-oop with both hands to put Oklahoma ahead 74-36.
By that time, the Sooners were 12-for-13 on field goals in the half.
"When the ball goes in, you look awful good," Sampson said.
Oklahoma, which has won four games in a row, is a half-game behind Oklahoma State and Kansas for first-place in the Big 12. The Cowboys and Jayhawks play Sunday.
"Our guys have got a lot of energy going right now," Gilbert said. "The thing right now is we've got to keep this going for the rest of the season. And I think we're starting to grasp that."
The Bears, who have lost 22 straight games to the Sooners, never put up much resistance.
Oklahoma hit its first 10 shots and took a 28-10 lead on Everett's layup after Gray stole a Baylor inbounds pass. The second of two 3-pointers by Williams started a string of 11 straight points for the Sooners that Gray capped with a right-handed jam to make it 20-8.
When the Sooners finally started missing, they were able to grab their own rebounds, too. Gray grabbed Lawrence McKenzie's missed 3-pointer for a putback, and two possessions later Gilbert rebounded his own miss and scored to make it 34-16.
"Every coach dreams of having a Senior Day like that, and I don't think it gets any better for Oklahoma," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "In our case, it was completely the opposite. I don't think it gets much worse.
"We played poorly, and a lot of it had to do with the great effort, energy and intensity they played with. They really shot the ball well, and they deserve a lot of credit in this game."
By the time Baylor finally got its first rebound, the Bears had committed 10 turnovers and were trailing 36-19 with 5:09 to play in the first half. Ryan Pryor, a 6-foot-1 guard, was credited with the rebound when he was fouled by Godbold while going for the ball.
The Bears, who last beat Oklahoma on Dec. 6, 1977, were outrebounded 16-4 in the first half and trailed 44-28 at the break.
Aaron Bruce scored 22 points, Patrick Fields had 11 and Richard Hurd added 10 for Baylor in its most lopsided loss since a 91-42 defeat at Oklahoma on Feb. 8, 2003.
The Bears, who have lost 11 straight games, had only five scholarship players available.
"We know we have to play a near-perfect game and the opponent not play a perfect game," Drew said. "When both of those happen, then we'll have a chance."
